Did you know that a woman named Kady Brownell was the color bearer for 5th Rhode Island infantry? She braved enemy fire at Bull Run to hold her banner high! Did you know that Dr. Mary Walker, a battlefield surgeon, was the first and only woman to ever receive the Medal of Honor? Yes, these women and many more marched alongside soldiers and were on the battlefields of the American Civil War. They were both respected and admired by their male comrades. Author Stephanie Ford's thorough research provides a compelling collection of stories showcasing remarkable women from both sides of the conflict. Alongside the biographies of these amazing women are Ford's expressive and authentic drawings and a selection of period photographs and fascinating factoids. These details beautifully capture the stories of these brave women in this inspiring and informative middle reader.
